Michel watched as the girl, Lori, excercised.  He already felt an 
attraction for her, and she was having an effect on him.

*Wow, Desire, that's one I don't get to see very often from you*

"Enough, There hasn't been a whole lot to see here," He thought to his Dragon

*Oh, Woe is me, I'm becoming second fiddle* Paranth chided back.

"Right, just can't let myself forget why we're here."

Lori continued conversing with him, and finally asked to ride Paranth, as 
she had never been on a Dragon before.

"Aces," Michel thought to himself.

To Lori, he replied, "I'd be honored.  It's not often I meet people 
around here.  Am still getting the hang of a lot of this."

Michel walked out as Paranth landed, and turned around to watch Lori walk 
out, noticing she mainly walked on her toes.

"Intersting," Michel thought, "Paranth, you were able to differentiate 
between number Five's smell, and all others, right?"

*Of course, you humans all have a particular smell to each of you.  It is 
easier for our advanced sense to tell the difference*

"Good, memorize hers, would you?"

Michel helped Lori aboar Paranth's back.  They then took off, flying 
several times around the warren.  Landing later on, Michel got to enjoy 
conversing with the girl.  He spoke of growing up in Ralengarde, and 
having been searched by Aleta as he was in a bar one day.  His subsequent 
pairing with Paranth, and he only paused briefly upon mentioning Carie.  
He wondered aloud at what she was doing, and then listened to Lori talk 
of her background, paying rapt attention the entire time, and she wrapped 
up speaking of coming across the body, which the Guild of Swords seemed 
to think required her to be under 24 hour surveillance.

"Well, they shouldn't complain now, You're still under surveillance," 
Michel said, a grin in his voice.

Lori nodded, watching the Dragonrider.  Later, after grabbing a bite at 
Keldarra's Dining Hall, Michel flew her back to where she was staying.  
As he turned around to leave, he heard her say...

"Wait."
